Using Verizon Treo 650 as Modem from MacBookPro Intel

[dc1999]dc1999 (apparently) - 02:18pm Apr 16, 2007 PST
via email

Does anyone on this list know a way to connect to the internet using
a Verizon Treo 650 as a modem from a MacBookPro Intel. I did this
perfectly with no trouble from a Windoze machine.

PDA Software sent me this message which says it can only be done in
Windoze:

Dave,

The Treo 650 version does not work under Mac. It is only for Windows.

Thanks,

Dave,

        This used to be possible for certain treos with WirelessModem
from NotifyMail, but it's no longer available.

        I've done it a few times with Shadowmite's Bluetooth DUN hack
for my Verizon Treo 650, but it didn't work very well (I had to
reboot the Treo each time I wanted to connect).

                                                Good luck,


                                                Chris

I see you're trying to do this with Verizon. Here is a rather scrappily organized note for how to get this working with t-mobile. Perhaps you will find the missing pieces there.
